Contour Legacy Leg & Knee Foam Support Pillow for Side Sleepers Soothing Relief for Back, HIPS, Knees, Joints, Nerves & Muscles
- ORTHOPEDIC LEG PILLOW TO HELP REDUCE BACK, HIP, LEG, KNEE & SCIATICA NERVE DISCOMFORT- As a side sleeper, you don’t sleep perfectly straight. Your top leg drops in front of you putting pressure on your back, your hip joints twist & your knees touch, causing pain. The Contour Legacy Pillow is the best leg pillow cushion for those looking for relief as the cushion comfortably supports your legs & knees to provide proper sleeping alignment & positioning to eliminate those painful pressure points.
- THE ONLY LEG PILLOW THAT SUPPORTS BOTH YOUR LEGS & KNEES – When we first invented our leg pillow back in the early 90’s (the hour glass shape that so many companies have now copied), our goal was to improve sleeping alignment to reduce pain. The leg pillow was invented to help reduce pressure that occurs from bad sleeping posture which causes discomfort. Years later we realized that cushioning & supporting BOTH your legs & knees are important in maintaining proper alignment to help reduce pain.
- VENTILATED MEMORY FOAM ALLOWS AIR TO CIRCULATE FOR A COOLER NIGHTS SLEEP – Unlike traditional memory foam leg pillow that are designed to absorb your body heat in order to compress, the Contour Legacy Leg Pillow is designed with ventilated air holes in the memory foam that promote air circulation throughout the night. The temperature regulating foam technology pushes the heat outwards away from your body, to prevent you from feeling like you are overheating.
- SLEEP COMFORTABLY IN ANY POSITION & MOVE FREELY THROUGH THE NIGHT – Unlike traditional knee pillows, the Contour Legacy features a true ergonomic design with its soft curves & crescent shape to fit men & women comfortably. Without requiring hazardous, circulation restricting straps, the precise tether of the pillow contours to fit the natural shape of your legs. This allows the foam leg pillow to contour to your shape without restricting movement or requiring you to sleep in a certain position.

Best Contoured Support Pillows Buying Guide
Before choosing the best contoured support pillow you should consider following options:
1. Shape: Contoured support pillows come in three basic shapes: cervical, lateral and tri-support.
Cervical pillows are mainly for neck support and are recommended for those who suffer from neck pain or have back problems.
Lateral support pillows are for back and side sleepers and help to maintain the spine’s natural curve. They’re recommended for those who have problems with their lower back or have scoliosis.
Tri-support pillows offer three different levels of support. They’re for back and side sleepers and are recommended for those who have severe back problems.
2. Size: Contoured support pillows come in different sizes and you should opt for the one that suits you best.
If you’re a back sleeper, you should choose a pillow that’s narrower and longer. If you’re a side sleeper, you should opt for a wider, shorter pillow.
3. Durability: Contoured support pillows are generally more expensive than regular pillows and they tend to wear out faster.
This means that you’ll have to replace them more often, so the quality is important. Look for materials that are sturdy and that have a removable cover.
4. Cost: Contoured support pillows are more expensive than regular pillows.
This is mainly because they’re made with higher quality materials, but also because they have an enhanced lifespan.
However, the extra cost will be worth it in the long run if you suffer from neck or back pain and you get a good night’s sleep.
5. Ease of use: Contoured support pillows are different from regular pillows, so you may need some time to get used to them.
However, once you do, you’ll find that they offer you great support and are easy to use.
